"❌" at the part where it's triggering.

☆

The hilltop's reaction as the group walked through the gate was just how estella expected it to be. with jesus dead and a prisoner in the walls, things quickly went downhill. jesus had been a sacred member of the hilltop for such a long time. before maggie, he was the person that everybody in the community looked up to. the man that had everyone's best interests. and when maggie left, jesus was the leader. he took care of everything. and now, he was gone.

estella wiped a tear that fell down her face as daryl, magna, and yumiko got jesus down off the horse. everyone was distraught, all sobbing. aaron handled jesus, and michonne and daryl got the girl. they held her by both of her arms as they walked her through the hilltop, trying to reach the cells.

"is this who did it?" tammy rose asked as they walked past.

"no. one of her people." michonne muttered.

"you lockin' her up?" she asked. estella just kept walking, waiting outside of the cells whilst they got the girl through.

"we're getting answers." tara replied.

"and then what? tara, jesus trusted you, so now we're all looking to you. but people are gonna want justice for this. and when that time comes, we're gonna look to you for that, too."

"i know." tara replied, before walking over to the cells.

they walked down the steps, and put the girl in one of them. she just watched as daryl put her in, she had never been down in the cells before, only when it was used as a storage unit. usually, she would take in her surroundings, but she didn't. she was more focused on the girl in front of her. she had a blindfold over her eyes, and she was completely dirty from head to toe. it was clear to see that whoever these people were, lived outside.

"get in." daryl said, pushing her inside of the cell.

"daryl, estella?" a voice rang out, making estella quickly turn.

"henry?" she questioned, seeing him in the cell.

"what's going on?" he asked her.

"jesus is dead." she told him, he furrowed his eyebrows.

"what?" he asked.

"he died. he got stabbed in the chest." she said, before looking back at daryl and michonne, and the girl in the cell. "i have to go. i'll talk to you later."

she quickly walked over to see the girl on a metal chair. michonne pulled the blindfold from her eyes roughly. estella stood in the middle of them, daryl to her right, and michonne to her left. she wanted to get to the bottom of the situation. find out who they are and why they killed jesus, or followed rosita and eugene.

tara came into the cell, standing behind estella with her arms in a neat fold. estella gave her a nod, which she returned. estella then turned back to the girl, glaring at her.

"no more bullshit. how many more of you are there?" michonne asked her, her voice strong.

"i already told you. they're all dead, my family is dead. please just stop." the girl cried.
